News FREE PRESENTATION ON NONPROFIT LEADERSHIP BY AUTHOR AND EXPERT SHIRLEY SAGAWA, MARCH 13
MARLBORO, VT – (March 3, 2008) – Author Shirley Sagawa will be at Burlington's Main Street Landing on Thursday March 13 for a free presentation on effective nonprofit management, starting at 7:00 pm in the Great Room.
Newsweek magazine has called Sagawa a "Woman to Watch in the 21st Century." Her lecture, "The Charismatic Organization: How Effective Nonprofits Build and Benefit from Strong Communities," discusses the important roles that nonprofits play in building social capital and the economy, and the characteristics of effective nonprofit leaders.
Woodbury College and the Marlboro College Graduate Center are sponsoring this event in conjunction with the Main Street Landing. Ms. Sagawa will be teaching a workshop on Effective Leadership this spring for a Nonprofit Management Certification course jointly offered by the two Vermont-based institutions.
Sagawa has served as a presidential appointee in both the first Bush and Clinton Administrations. As Deputy Chief of Staff to First Lady Hillary Clinton, she helped organize the first-ever White House Conference on Philanthropy. Her award-winning book, "Common Interest, Common Good: Creating Value through Business and Social Sector Partnerships" describes how business and social sector organizations can collaborate for mutual gain. Her new book, "The Charismatic Organization: Eight Ways to Grow a Nonprofit that Builds Buzz, Delights Donors, and Energizes Employees," is scheduled for publication by Jossey-Bass this fall. (with co-author Eli Segal, Harvard Business School Press)
Marlboro College and Woodbury College have received over $80,000 in grants and individual donations to start their Nonprofit Management Certification program. Granting organizations include the Workforce Education and Training Fund (WETF), which is a division of the Vermont Department of Labor, anonymous donors, the Green Mountain United Way, and the TD Banknorth Charitable Foundation, which recently launched a new program to provide funds for nonprofit employee education and professional development.
Vermont's nonprofit sector comprises nearly 11 percent of the state's economic activity and employs over 12 percent of the workforce. After the Vermont Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations (VANPO) ceased operations, the Vermont Community Foundation (VCF) led a series of meetings to discuss the unmet needs of the nonprofit sector. As a result of these meetings, VCF stepped up its efforts to meet some of the networking and information needs by acting as a clearinghouse for donors and to publicize training efforts, while the need for more training is being filled by the Marlboro-Woodbury collaboration.
The Marlboro College Graduate Center is located at 28 Vernon Street in Brattleboro, Vermont. For more information, contact the Marlboro College Public Relations department at 802-251-7644 or email@example.com.
For information about Woodbury College, please contact Jessie Lynn at 802-229-0516, x245 or email@example.com.
Celebrating 60 years, Marlboro College offers undergraduate education in the liberal arts and, since 1997, career-enhancing degree programs to working adults at the Marlboro College Graduate Center in Brattleboro, Vermont. Programs include management of information systems and technologies, healthcare administration, Internet engineering and an MBA in Managing for Sustainability.
Woodbury College offers Associate's, Bachelor's and Master's degrees, as well as Certificate programs. Woodbury offers a challenging and supportive learning environment for students to prepare for fulfilling new careers in the fields of mediation, law, advocacy and conflict management.

January 17, 2012
A federal appeals court has rejected Texas Gov. Rick Perry's bid to be placed on Virginia's Republican presidential primary ballot.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with a lower court that Perry and three other candidates waited too late to challenge Virginia's ballot access law.
Perry sued last month after failing to submit the 10,000 voter signatures required to get on the March 6 ballot. Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman also failed to qualify and joined the lawsuit. Only former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Congressman Ron Paul qualified.
A federal judge said Friday that one key provision of Virginia's ballot access law is probably unconstitutional, but Perry waited too late to challenge it.

47 E Houston St, New York, NY | Directions 1001240.724717 -73.994671
Mon-Fri 5 pm-4 am, Sat-Sun 6 pm-4 am
Neighborhoods: Downtown, NoLita
Nice Bar, Abusive Bartender – There is a part-time bartender at this bar who abuses customers to whom he feels inferior. All I did was ask for a drink from a bartender, (considering that is his job) but my request was met not only with impatience and attitude, but with verbal abuse. He called me a stupid b**** for thinking that I could ask for a drink before the person next to me (even though I had sat down before that person), and told me that I was cut off (before he even served me my first drink of the night!). I did not insist on being served, but instead left the bar area to see some friends in another section of the establishment, when after 20 minutes he came out from behind the bar, stood within inches of my face, and screamed at me to leave the bar. I explained that I had done nothing wrong, and only asked him, THE BARTENDER for a drink, but he grabbed me by my side and pushed me towards the door, where the bouncer told him to relax for being out of hand. He shot the bouncer a disdainful look, and quite literally threw me out of the door. Now, I am only 5 feet tall, and weigh just over 100 lbs, so the force left me crumpled like a doll on the steps outside. The bartender, though laughably small himself, outrageously abused his power, and physically assaulted me. In my opinion, he should be arrested for his insane and inappropriate behavior. He is about 5'5 with a helmet-shaped MULLET. What a total JERK. I only wish I were able to enjoy the atmosphere for more than 15 minutes before the bartender decided to single me out and attack me.
Chill out with the whole crew at this hip, supersized dive. – Neither edgy enough for the Lower East Side nor cheesy enough for Bleecker Street, Botanica offers a happy medium. A DJ blasts a fittingly eclectic mix of rock and hip-hop from a small booth in the front window for a crowd of low-key and low-budget hipsters. Through its overriding darkness, the semi-basement bar's multitude of mismatched furniture is barely illuminated by a couple of candle-bearing Virgin Mary statues and funky sconces. Well-loved, threadbare armchairs line the worn brick walls, and a separate back room offers enough couches and chairs to seat a small army--or a big birthday party.
Hits: Bartenders dole out stiff well drinks and cheap draft beers with speed, efficiency and minimal attitude.
Misses: Despite its considerable size, during prime-time hours crowds tend to slam the bar area, clogging the main room even when the back room is virtually empty.
Please Don't Go Here. – This bar is one of the only bars in the area that I can stand. The music is excellent. The bartenders are cool. The drinks are cheeeeeeeeap. Happy hour is the best around. I don't need this getting ruined by a bunch of yuppie a$$holes, frat boys, and general gangsta types. Stay out if you fit any of the above catagories, if not come by and have a drink at the best bar around.
Always reliable and always cheap! – I have never posted on citysearch, but looking at the small number of reviews for Botanica I thought that I should tell you about this little gem. Botanica is one of those bars that feels like home. The bouncers are friendly. The dj plays what you want and the bartenders are very liberal with the drinks that they make. No matter who I come with to Botanica, it never disappoints. I recommend this bar to anyone who is looking for good times with good people.
Old Favorite – Been going here for years. Nice people, fun music and a great place to meet friends after work. Keep it a secret.
HOSTILE CROWD, MUSIC TOO-LOUD, FAGGEDDAOUDIT! – Sartre said hell is other people. He must not have visited this bar. THIS is hell. Bad music at ear-splitting volume. A crowd of college students slightly less friendly than Al-Qaeida at a Bar Mitzvah, and slightly less cliquey than the Bush family circle. An off-bar couch-filled alcove could be comfortable.All they'd have to do is keep the volume up for the boneheads in front, and down for the drinkers/talkers/shmoozers/lovers in the back. But they spoiled it! If anything, the back room is LOUDER than the front. There's just no getting away from it. Thinking of coming here? Have a prostate exam instead. It'll be more fun. --Drink Club is a roving group of Manhattan drinkers
Favorite New York Bar – Haven't been here for a couple of years and discovered it's gone through a management change ... and boy it needed it!! New bosses seem to have kept the things that made the place great, while getting rid of the bad elements. It's a lot cleaner and the crowd's got younger but Happy Hour is one of the best around (and they do late night Happy Hour from 1 till 4). Great for a quick drink or for spending the whole night listening to the fantastic D.J.'s. Hot bartenders too!!!!!
botanical garden of fun – I discovered Botanica several years ago, and have found it to be consistently one of the best bars around. The drinks are reasonably priced, music is great, and most importantly, the crowd is contains zero princess attittude.
I would avoid on weekends.. it can get too crowded and the hipsters can take over. But after four years, its still the perfect place to have drinks and a chat with good friends.
first a gem. then an old friend. – Like that golden-dive walk down that you stumble upon at 3am on a saturday, botanica will spring from the nyc earth; your first time there is a vertiable dive-deflowering. After that: this place continues to be consistently amazing whether u use it to start your night or to chill there for hours. Great value! Great crowd! great background noise. Beware, however, of the occassional chad qua hipster.
don't go here. – this is by far my absolute favorite bar for after work. they've got brooklyn brown on tap. yum. can't stand it on weekends. waay too crowded with hipsters.

Dr. Laura Howard of Palmyra Medical Associates says strep throat is going around this week.
Symptoms include post nasal drip, low-grade fever, nausea, body aches, malaise and other cold-like symptoms. Dr. Howard says the symptoms typically last seven to ten days.
Treatment depends on the cause, which can be strep throat, flu or any other type of virus. Dr. Howard suggests visiting your primary care physician because he or she can determine the cause and provide the best kind of treatment.
Dr. Howard tells CBS19 the best way to prevent a sore throat is to avoid people who are sick and wash your hands. Also, to protect others for possible infection, you shouldn't go to work or school if you have a fever.
Dr. Howard is also encouraging people with strep throat to seek treatment due to the risk of rheumatic fever, an
inflammatory disease that can occur following strep that can affect the heart, joints, skin and brain.

A perfect cookie for chocolate lovers!
kathryn c1/20/2010
I like to use white chips instead of milk or dark chocolate. I also like to add dried cherries.
Tara T12/15/2009
This recipe is very versatile and pretty fool-proof. You can use whatever type of chips (virtually any flavor will work). Use a small melon-ball sized scoop to dispense batter onto the cookie sheet and you will yield exactly 5 dozen cookies.

Yes, it was embarrassing for the Crimson Tide. Yes, the Alabama defense capped its worst year since 2007 with a dreadful performance. Yes, the offensive line looked awful. Yes, Nick Saban enters his eighth season with no AJ McCarron and the quarterback position unsettled for the first time since he arrived on campus. Yes, the cornerbacks were an issue all year.
But it was just another run-of-the-mill bowl. It isn't the end of the world. I promise.
Alabama will rebuild.
The Crimson Tide survived Mike DuBose, Dennis Franchione, Mike Price and Mike Shula. It will survive this.
Alabama has questions to answer as it enters spring training, but that's the same every year, no matter what happened the previous season.
It's just one game. Nothing more.

Competitive Enterprise Institute | 1899 L ST NW Floor 12, Washington, DC 20036 | Phone: 202-331-1010 | Fax: 202-331-0640
Published in Nature Biotechnology<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
April 2001 Volume 19 Number 4 pp 302 - 303
Remember the admonition not to believe a bureaucrat who claims that "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you"? Well, government regulators now have a more subtle, updated version of that assertion: a wolf in sheep's clothing called the "precautionary principle". It has already laid waste to several industries and boasts a body count in the tens of thousands. It is now being used to cripple public sector and academic researchers as well as the biotechnology industry.
Although a widely accepted definition of the "principle" does not exist, its thrust is that regulatory measures should prevent or restrict actions that raise even conjectural threats of harm to human health or the environment, although there may be incomplete scientific evidence as to their potential significance. Several European countries have used the precautionary principle to justify paralyzing restrictions on agricultural and food biotechnology, and the European Commission (EC) has invoked it to justify a moratorium on the approval of new recombinant DNA-modified products1.
Use of the precautionary principle is sometimes represented as "erring on the side of safety". But we believe the way it is typically applied to research and development and to commercial products can actually increase risk.
Potential risks should be taken into consideration before proceeding with any new activity or product, whether it is the choice of site for a power station or the introduction of a new drug into the pharmacy. But advocates of the precautionary principle focus primarily on the possibility that technologies could pose unique, extreme, or unmanageable risks. What is missing from the precautionary calculus is an acknowledgment that even when technologies introduce new risks, most confer net benefits; that is, their use reduces many other, far more serious hazards. Examples include blood transfusions, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and automobile air bags, all of which offer immense benefits and only minimal risk.
The real danger of the precautionary principle is that it distracts consumers and policymakers from known, significant threats to human health and often diverts limited public health resources from those genuine and far greater risks. Consider, for example, the environmental movement's misguided crusade to rid society of all chlorinated compounds.
By the late 1980s, environmental activists were attempting to convince water authorities around the world of the possibility that carcinogenic byproducts of chlorination made drinking water a potential cancer risk. Peruvian officials caught in a budget crisis used this supposed threat to public health as a justification to stop chlorinating much of their country's drinking water. That decision contributed to the acceleration and spread of Latin America's 1991-1996 cholera epidemic, which afflicted more than 1.3 million people and killed at least 11,0002.
Anti-chlorine campaigners more recently have turned their attacks to phthalates, liquid organic compounds added to certain plastics to make them softer. These soft plastics are used for important medical devices, particularly fluid containers, blood bags, tubing, and gloves; children's toys, such as teething rings and rattlers; and household and industrial items, such as wire coating and flooring. Waving the banner of the precautionary principle, activists claim that phthalates could have numerous adverse health effects-even in the face of significant scientific evidence to the contrary3. Governments have taken these unsupported claims seriously, and several formal and informal bans have been implemented around the world. Industry has been stymied, consumers denied product choices, and doctors and their patients deprived of lifesaving tools.
During the past few years, skeptics began more intensively to scrutinize the precautionary principle. In response to those assessments, the EC, a prominent user and abuser of the precautionary principle, last year published a formal communication to promote the legitimacy of the concept4. The EC resolved that, under its auspices, precautionary restrictions would be "proportional to the chosen level of protection," "non-discriminatory in their application," and "consistent with other similar measures." The commission also avowed that EC decision makers would carefully weigh "potential benefits and costs." But all of these stipulations have been flagrantly ignored or abused in the commission's regulatory approach to recombinant DNA-modified-or in their argot, "genetically modified" (GM)-foods.
Dozens of scientific bodies, including the UK's Royal Society, the US National Academy of Sciences, the World Health Organization, and the American Medical Association have analyzed the oversight that is appropriate for gene-spliced organisms and arrived at remarkably congruent conclusions: The newer molecular techniques for genetic improvement are an extension, or refinement, of earlier, far less precise ones; adding genes to plants or microorganisms does not make them less safe either to the environment or to eat; the risks associated with recombinant DNA-modified organisms are the same in kind as those associated with conventionally modified organisms; and regulation should be based upon the risk-related characteristics of individual products, regardless of the techniques used in their development.
Notwithstanding the EC's promises that the precautionary principle would not be abused, regulators treat recombinant DNA-modified plants and microorganisms in a discriminatory and inconsistent fashion, and without proportionality to risk. Both the fact and degree of regulation turn on the use of certain production methods-that is, on whether recombinant DNA techniques have been used-regardless of the level of risk posed by individual products.
For example, recombinant herbicide-tolerant crop plants, such as soybeans and canola, are subject to lengthy, hugely expensive mandatory testing and pre-market evaluation, whereas plants with virtually identical properties but developed with older, less precise genetic techniques are exempt from such requirements. In the United States, Department of Agriculture requirements for paperwork and field trial design make field trials with gene-spliced organisms 10-20 times more expensive than the same experiments with virtually identical organisms that have been modified with conventional genetic techniques5.
The real-world impacts of this wholly disproportionate approach are instructive. If a student doing a school biology project takes a packet of "conventional," but genetically improved, tomato or pea seeds to be irradiated at the local hospital and plants them in his backyard in order to investigate interesting mutants, he need not seek approval from any local, national, or international authority. However, if the seeds have been modified by the addition of one or a few genes by recombinant DNA techniques, this would-be researcher (or equivalent highly skilled agricultural scientists) faces a mountain of bureaucratic paperwork and expense.
Not only does this discrimination flaunt the scientific consensus about the essential continuity between the traditional and molecular genetic improvement of plants, but it also ignores the fact that recombinant DNA technology is more precise and predictable and the modifications far better characterized than with other techniques. Logical application of the precautionary principle to situations of scientific uncertainty would dictate that greater precaution apply to the cruder, less precise, less predictable "conventional" forms of genetic modification. Instead, by torturing the precautionary principle, regulators have chosen to set the burden of proof far higher for recombinant DNA technology than for conventional plant breeding. And, as the EC's moratorium on new product approvals demonstrates, even when that extraordinary burden of proof is met through unprecedented amounts of testing and evaluation, regulators frequently declare themselves unsatisfied.
Remarkably, although the EC characterized its communication on the precautionary principle as an attempt to impart greater consistency and clarity, it specifically declined to define the principle, adding naively that "it would be wrong to conclude that the absence of a definition has to lead to legal uncertainty." Although reliance on regulatory agencies and courts to define and elaborate statutory policy is not unusual, this reluctance to define what purports to be a fundamental principle makes confusion and mischief inevitable, leaving innovators' legal rights and regulators' legal obligations subject to the wholly subjective and sometimes nefarious judgment of governments or even individual regulators.
As it is being applied, the precautionary principle provides neither evidentiary standards for "safety" nor procedural criteria for obtaining regulatory approval, no matter how much evidence has been accumulated. In effect, regulators are given carte blanche to decide what is "unsafe" and what is "safe enough", with no means to ensure that their decisions actually reduce overall risk or that they make any sense at all. Contrary to the claims of its supporters, the precautionary principle tends to make governments less accountable, not more so, because its lack of definition allows regulators to justify any decision.
In spite of the assurance of the European Union and other advocates of precautionary regulation to the contrary, regulators of biotechnology applied to agriculture and food production seldom consider the potential risk-reducing benefits of new technologies. For example, the use of recombinant DNA-modified plants with enhanced pest or disease resistance has reduced farmers' use of chemical pesticides, reducing runoff into waterways, and the exposure of workers who manufacture, transport, and apply these chemicals. It has also permitted farmers to more widely adopt environment-friendly, no-till farming practices. And recently developed rice varieties enhanced with pro-vitamin A and iron could drastically improve the health of hundreds of millions of the malnourished in developing countries. These are the kinds of tangible environmental and health benefits that have been given little or no weight in precautionary risk calculations.
But benefits aside, the safety of this new technology is not really in doubt. Both theoretical and empirical evidence shows the extraordinary predictability and safety of gene-spliced organisms. Recombinant DNA-modified plants are now grown worldwide on more than 100 million acres annually, and more than 60% of processed foods in the United States contain ingredients derived from recombinant organisms. There has not been a single mishap resulting in injury to a single person.
For anti-biotechnology activists, the deeper issue is not really safety at all. Often, the controversies over the testing and use of gene-spliced organisms-and in particular, the metastasis of the precautionary principle-stem from a social vision that is not just strongly anti-technology, but one that poses serious challenges to academic, individual, and corporate freedom.
In the western democratic societies, we enjoy long traditions of relatively unfettered scientific research, except in the very few cases where bona-fide safety issues are raised. (An example with contemporary relevance is the ban on research using live foot-and-mouth disease virus in the mainland United States.) Traditionally, we shrink from permitting small, authoritarian minorities to dictate our social agenda, including what kinds of research are permissible and which technologies and products should be available in the marketplace. Thus, for remarkably well-behaved recombinant DNA technology, a refinement of earlier techniques, it is beside the point whether the purpose of investigating a new plant variety or microorganism is to test a scientific hypothesis or a marker gene, to produce a more elegant rose, to offer a marginal improvement for purposes of downstream processing, or to improve the lot of malnourished children.
It is precisely the anti-technology nature of the precautionary principle that makes it the darling of many non-governmental organizations. Greenpeace, one of the principal advocates of the precautionary principle, wrote in its 1999 Internal Revenue Service filings that the organization's goal is not the prudent, safe use of recombinant DNA-derived foods or even their labeling; rather, they demand nothing less than these products' "complete elimination [from] the food supply and the environment."6 Many of these groups do not merely proselytize for illogical and stultifying regulation or outright bans on product testing and commercialization; they advocate and carry out vandalism of field trials.
Carolyn Raffensperger, executive director of the Science and Environmental Health Network, a consortium of radical groups, asserts that the precautionary principle "is in the hands of the people," as illustrated, according to her, by violent demonstrations against economic globalization, such as those in Seattle at the 1999 meeting of the World Trade Organization7. "This is [about] how they want to live their lives," says Raffensperger.
In our view, it's really about how a small, vocal, violent group of radicals wants to dictate to the rest of us how we should live our lives. In other words, the issue here is freedom and its infringement by ideologues who disapprove, on principle, of a certain technology. But bullies should not be permitted to use untruths, conspiracy, and violence to oppose legitimate research into technologies that can improve our safety and well-being. We should no longer allow extremists to dictate the terms of the debate.

Four Northeast San Antonio businesses have been hit by robbers, and now police are trying to determine if all of the cases are connected.
The first call to 911 came in around 8 p.m. Thursday from P&B Grocery in the 5900 block of Rittiman Road.
Soon, police had received calls from three other businesses within a short driving distance from that location -- a Chevron gas station at Montgomery Drive and Melbury Forest, as well as convenience stores in the 4400 block of Rittiman and 6000 block of O'Connor Road. All of those businesses had been robbed too, police said.
In some cases, the robber was described as wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black shorts and either black or red bandanna.
Witnesses also told detectives they saw the robber getting into a cream colored Ford vehicle, police said.
As of 5 a.m. Friday, detectives said they were still unsure whether all of the cases were connected.
They said they planned to review surveillance video and other information to make that determination.
San Antonio Police said Thursday night was an especially busy time for robberies.
They said an unusually high number of businesses throughout the city had been targeted during that time frame.

The Capilano Suspension Bridge hangs 70 metres above the Capilano River. This 140-metre long structure attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and is one of Vancouver's most popular attractions. Crossing this small bridge is not for those with a fear of heights, however.
In 1888 the Scottish engineer George Grant Mackay purchased a parcel of land on either side of the Capilano River. To connect the two sides he constructed a suspended bridge made from rope and planks of wood. Following his death, in 1904, the ropes were replaced by steel cables. In 1956 the bridge was completely rebuilt in just five days by its new owner Rae Mitchell, who immediately began to promote it as a tourist attraction.
Although the park came about thanks to the presence of the bridge, which still draws the majority of visitors, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park has much more to offer. Its latest attraction is the Cliff Walk: a series of suspended footbridges secured to cliffs. In some instances the walkways are made from glass and visitors can look straight down into the precipice.
Another escapade high above the ground is the Tree Tops Adventure. This attraction offers visitors an insight into the ancient rainforest from the viewpoint of a squirrel. Visitors can stroll along bridges from one Douglas fir to another. Some of these trees are up to 1300 years old. The bridges and viewing platforms are attached to the trees in an ingenious way without damaging them through the use of pins or bolts.
During the festive season the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park offers the ultimate Christmas experience. The bridge is decorated with hundreds of lights and becomes a beacon of light in the dark valley. The rest of the park is also decorated with twinkling lights.
Address: 3735 Capilano Road
